One of the top football and basketball prep prospects in Show Me state's 2007 class, Kansas City (Mo.) Pembroke Hill standout Spencer Ladner opened his senior year with a bang on the gridiron. Although the future California Golden Bear only caught a handful of passes, it was his arm that did some of the damage.

The No. 4 overall ranked football prospect in the state of Missouri, Ladner and the Raiders have been very successful the past two seasons, especially early in the campaign. During his sophomore year, the Pembroke Hill started out 8-0 before dropping their final two games. Last year as a junior, the Raiders went 7-0 before again, dropping their final two contests.
